I misunderstood the question about carbs in my program. So I added up the carbs in the herbs, excluding diet:
Oats is obviously the main source of carbs in my program: at a dose of 8.4 g and 60 % carbs, oats contributes 5 g carbs.
Dried maca root contains 60-75 % carbohydrates. At a dose of 3.4 g, it contributes 2-2.5 g carbs.
Soy meal contains 35 % carbohydrates. I assume flax, black seed, and fenugreek are similar. Those add up to a dose of 1+3.6+2.4+2.5=8.5 g, and contribute 3 g carbs.
Goat's rue, hops, and mint and licorice teas are just dried vegetables. The doses are 7.4+1.8+1=10.2 g. At 60 % carbohydrates, they contribute 6 g.
So the total for herbs in my program is 17 g carbs. That's still over 10 % of my daily carbs intake.
